Mental health, exhaustion and trying your best

Early November I’m … Continue reading Mental health, exhaustion and trying your best

Looking back on writing The Hesitant Hero
I say I’m looking back, but it’s obviously not done yet. Before I even consider approaching any publisher at all I need to edit and proofread a bunch of stuff. Having said that, I don’t think there are going to be any massive differences between this version and whatever a final version will look like. … Continue reading Looking back on writing The Hesitant Hero
